UPDATED VERSION:

Dear Agent:

Princess Ryn has always felt like she's invisible.

Probably because she actually is.

Ryn is half wraith, a creature only seen as flickering shadows out of the corner of one's eye. Unlike a pureblood wraith, she can't turn the ability off. Her sole friend is a curved sabre given to her by her father, who was gifted with an amulet which allowed him to see her.

On her eighteenth birthday, Ryn regrets ever wishing for attention—she's to marry the prince of a neighboring clan as part of an alliance. Fortunately, the prince is missing, kidnapped by a ferocious dragon. Unfortunately, because of her heritage, Ryn is the only one who can swoop in unseen and save him.

But when she gets to the dragon's cave, she finds her betrothed has gone mad with greed and enslaved the dragon by stealing the item most precious to him. Not that the plan would've worked anyway. The dragon can see her, his dark eyes piercing through her shadows and speeding her heart—especially when he takes the form of a wickedly seductive man. Now Ryn has a new plan: save a dragon-in-distress from her prince before he conquers the kingdom with fire.

PRINCESS OF SMOKE AND SHADOW is a XX,XXX-word young adult fantasy twisting the classic "prince saves princess from a dragon". Thank you for your time and consideration.
